2. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION. A Video Distribution System (VDS) is a complement of audio and video equipment designed for interfacing, switching/bridging, and distributing digital and/or analog audio and video signals sourced from multiple devices and destined to multiple devices. Unlike a Video Teleconferencing (VTC) Multipoint Conferencing Unit (MCU), which performs solely many-to-one audio and video signal bridging, the VDS can perform many-to-one, one-to many, and many-to-many bridging. The VDS can distribute signal feeds to geographically dispersed locations and may include types of "METADATA" that might include intelligence about the feed (e.g., signal feed coordinates, Predator target) or industry standard information such as Extended Display Identification Data (EDID), which is a data structure that provides additional information about the intended display devices.

Closed VDS System: Closed VDS systems do not interface with the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) core. A Closed VDS System is a traditional VDS that enables video distribution over a Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)-based network that can occasionally support IP capabilities in a closed environment, and is capable of enabling Society of Motion Picture and TV Engineers (SMPTE) signals to be transmitted over a digital infrastructure. Closed VDS systems can leverage legacy standards and traditional TDM VDS, and are inaccessible from DoD IP-routed networks. However, a Closed VDS system may use a

2-2

peripheral device to extract video from an IP transport and convert it to an SMTP digital data stream, and pass it through the VDS. The System Under Test (SUT) is a closed video matrix extension and distribution system. This is a physically and logically separated, isolated network. The SUT includes video distribution as well as other computer interfaces such as keyboard and mouse. The certified interfaces are all internal to the system and the SUT will not connect to the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN). Management and initial setup of the system is accomplished by a windows 7 workstation running a web-based application named X4 Configurator. A touch screen panel is also used for the day-to-day operation of the system.

MXR-000048-FM: Thinklogical MX routers are true non-blocking matrix switches and leverage bi-directional signal capability. The MX48 are part of the VX Router family, which ranges in size from 48 x 48 up to 640 x 640. Our non-blocking routers allow multiple input signals to be available at one output. A bandwidth of 6.25 Gbps allows for uncompressed video, with no frame dropping. It supports both multi-mode and single-mode fiber connections using industry standard SFP+ optics. Thinklogical routers allows for all critical system components including power supplies, cooling fans and pluggable optics (SFP+) to be hot-swappable. The hot-swappable I/O boards allow the router to be reconfigured without interrupting signal processing by powering down the router. In addition, the dual redundant power supplies ensure continuous, uninterrupted power. Thinklogical routers are controlled via an external Windows 7 computer. This allows for customization as well as ease of control and administration with access provided via a network connection (browser), or a serial port for 3rd party controller integration (such as Crestron, AMX or home-spun interfaces). Thinklogical’s X4 Configurator is an advanced GUI which provides convenient user interface to the router from remote locations.

This connection is not to be connected to any other LAN and it will only be connected between the router and control platform located in a physically secure area. The X4 configurator allows for easy and intuitive setup and control of the switching between source computer or video entities and user display destinations. In addition, single video sources may be multi-cast (one to more than one) or broadcast (one to all) to desired destinations. Macro presets may be created for saving and recalling commonly used input and output ties. Log information can also be retrieved from the X4 configurator. 3. OPERATIONAL ARCHITECTURE. The Unified Capabilities (UC) architecture is a two-level network hierarchy consisting of Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) backbone switches and Service/Agency installation switches. The Department of Defense (DoD) Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Joint Staff policy and subscriber mission requirements determine

2-6

which type of switch can be used at a particular location. The UC architecture, therefore, consists of several categories of switches. Figure 2-1 depicts the Notional UC Network Architecture and Figure 2-2 depicts the UC VDS Reference Model. 4. TEST CONFIGURATION. The test team tested the SUT at SPAWAR UC APL Test Laboratory at St Juliens Creek, Portsmouth, Virginia in a manner and configuration similar to that of a notional operational environment. Testing of the system's required functions and features were conducted using the test configuration depicted in Figures 2-3. Information Assurance testing used the same configuration. 5. METHODOLOGY. Testing was conducted using VDS requirements derived from the Unified Capabilities Requirements (UCR) 2013, Errata 1, Reference (c), and VDS test procedures, Reference (d). Any discrepancy noted in the operational environment will be evaluated for impact on the existing certification. These discrepancies will be adjudicated to the satisfaction of DISA via a vendor Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M), which will address all new critical Test Discrepancy Reports (TDRs) within 120 days of identification.

a. Interface Requirements The SPAWAR UC APL testing interface status of the SUT is provided in Table 3-1. The SUT met the interface requirements with testing and the vendor's LoC. The SUT was tested and is certified with the following interfaces: HDMI, VGA, DVI, Multi-rate SDI, HD-SDI, and USB HID. The USB HID interface is an interface that supports High Definition video and audio. This is not a required interface. This interface was tested and is certified in a point-to-point configuration. This interface was not tested and is not certified over a local area network. b. Capability and Functional Requirements. Table 3-2 provides the SUT CRs and FRs tested. (1) Section 9.1, General VDS System. General VDS configuration requirements apply to all VDS devices in both the Closed VDS system configurations and VDS over Internet Protocol (IP) system configurations.

(a) The VDS system shall fall into one of two categories:

• Closed VDS System. These VDS systems are inaccessible from Department of Defense (DoD) IP-routed networks. Closed VDS systems shall follow the requirement as specified in the UCR 2013, Section 9.2. The SUT was tested and is certified as a Closed VDS System which is not accessible by IP routed networks, as depicted in Figure 2-3, which met this requirement. • VDS over IP (VDS-IP) System. These are VDS systems that are accessible and interface with DoD IP-routed networks. VDS-IP systems shall follow the requirements as specified in the UCR 2013, Section 9.3.
